Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined effects of odors on the acquisition and the extinction of traumatic memories using two PTSD animal models: fear conditioning and maternal separation paradigms. Our data showed that 1. the extinction of fear responses associated with contextual stimulus could not generalize those associated with odor stimulus, 2. only male rats preferred the odor stimulus that they experiences during maternal separation. 3. the fact that mothers took care of male pups more than females’ could cause the sex differences in their preference to odor stimulus related to traumatic memories.
